Rulon Bearings

Global EPP POM C Acetal Copolymer
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Acetal (Polyoxymethylene, POM); Acetal Copolymer, Unreinforced

Material Notes: Polyacetals are highly crystalline thermoplastics, characterised by their high mechanical strength, rigidity and impact resistance. Acetal absorbs very little moisture, enabling the product to maintain constant physical properties in a variety of changing environments. POM exhibits excellent dimensional stability and is ideally suited to close tolerance mechanical parts.

Key characteristics:

  • High mechanical strength and rigidity
  • High impact strength and creep resistance
  • Excellent dimensional stability and machinability
  • Low moisture absorption
  • Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties
  • No centreline porosity in copolymer grades
  • Suitable for food contact

The copolymer grade is the ideal combination of strength, stiffness and wear resistance. It absorbs very little moisture, is easily machinable and is genuinely porosity-free, making it the preferred grade for food contact and medical applications. The product exhibits an elevated resistance to hydrolysis, strong alkalis and thermal-oxidative degradation when compared to acetal homopolymer.
